2024 is off to a great start. New Epstein documents drop, Mike Flynn tweets that #PizzagateIsReal, and kraft retailer Etsy is being accused of selling ‘bespoke children’ on their marketplace. It’s a throwback QAA-style ep where Julian, Jake, and Travis begin to unravel at the realization that they’re about to relive 2016 for the seventh year in a row. Is Etsy really engaged in human trafficking? Is Pizzagate actually real? Are there still unanswered questions about the Epstein scandal? No, no, and yes.

This week, we've prepared a potluck style new year's brunch with a handful of dishes for you to pick at as you lay in bed, wracked with guilt about already breaking your resolutions. Later in the episode you’ll hear Jake break his NDA as a quality assurance tester at *bleep*.

The root concept of “learning styles” is based on a simple and intuitive idea: different people most successfully learn through different means. Or maybe they best learn through different sensory or emotional inputs. Possibly because people with differing brains make them more receptive to certain ways of knowing and absorbing information. Some people managed to take this intuitive idea and build massively successful careers for decades. Students were labeled “Visual,” “Aural,” or “Kinesthetic” learners.

The problem, as researchers discovered in the ‘00s, is that there’s no good evidence to suggest that any of the “learning styles” models popular with teachers actually improved educational outcomes. But that did little to slow the popularity of learning styles — or the mini industry built up around them.

Our holiday present to you all is the gift of Jake, Liv, Julian, and Travis losing their collective minds over the new film “Leave The World Behind” – a pre-apocalyptic film executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama. Not only will they be staggering their way through the plot of the film and its production history, but they’ll also be taking a look at the online conspiracy community’s reaction to the film. Rest assured it’s a ‘great holiday bake-off’, minus the presence of anything sweet and savory.

Part 2 of our exploration of how Gatorade influenced the science of hydration. In this episode Travis talks about how the Army developed bad doctrine around hydrating soldiers while preparing for war in the Middle East, how Gatorade helped finance athletic organizations, and why dangers related to overhydration were ignored in the 90s.

Also at point Jake launches into a Carpi Sun ad for some reason.

Annie Kelly is back in the Peak District to delve further into an ongoing struggle between the peaceful residents of Cressbrook Dale and a rogue band of doomsday farmers led by former “Dragon’s Den” host, Rachel Elnaugh. This time, Annie will be speaking to residents and hapless hikers who have been accosted by Rachel’s followers and their recon drones. She’ll also unpack a mysterious “anti-Rachel” website that popped up after being advertised on flyers distributed in the area, in the hopes of discovering just who might be behind it. Here’s a hint… it’s not the residents.
